Data Protection

The visit or use of my Blog is generally possible without the indication of personal data by its visitors or users. However, in case that personal data of the users of my Blog is collected in order for them to be able to use certain applications (e.g indication of name, e-mail address for the newsletter, or for posting comments, etc. see also in the next paragraph ), the collection of such data is carried out solely upon voluntary basis. Such data are furthermore not transferred to third parties without the express approval of its owner. As most blogs do, also my Blog’s web server collects anonymous statistical data such as number of visits, pages viewed, browser used, keywords typed, etc. The visitor’s IP address is collected for this purpose.

In order to post a comment, visitors are required to provide their email address and name (or pseudonym). Users’ email addresses will never be shared or sold to any third party unless required by law. Security measures such as passwords, firewalls and antivirus programs are in place to prevent any unauthorized access to this information. While every effort is made to protect users’ personal information, I cannot be held liable for any fraudulent access by an unauthorized third party. If you choose to disclose your personal information, you do so at your own risk. You remain solely responsible for the content of your messages and I reserve the right to delete any message at our discretion.

The protection of personal Data and being compliant with applicable Data Protection Laws is very important to me. The use of personal data in this Blog is therefore treated in accordance to the applicable Data Protection Acts and Rules and the Telecommunications Act.

Social Plugins (eg. Facebook, Twitter, …)

On my Blog I use social plugins (“plugins”) provided by the social network facebook.com, operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The plugins are identifiable by a Facebook logo. When you visit a page of my Blog that contains a social plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Facebook servers. Facebook directly transfers the plugin content to your browser which embeds the latter into the website, enabling Facebook to receive information about your having accessed the respective page of this Blog. Thus I have no influence on the data gathered by the plugin. The embedded plugins provide Facebook with the information that you have accessed via the corresponding page of this Blog. If you are logged into Facebook, your visit can be assigned to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking “Like”, or entering a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted from your browser directly to Facebook and stored by it. Even if you are not logged into Facebook, there is possibility that the plugins transmits your IP-address to Facebook. For the information on the purpose and scope of data collection and procession by Facebook, as well as your rights in this respect and settings options for protecting your privacy please visit Facebook’s privacy policy: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php. If you are a Facebook member and do not want Facebook to connect the data concerning your visit to my Blog with your member data already stored by Facebook, please log off Facebook before entering my Blog. The same may apply for other Social Plugins, such as Twitter or Instagram.
